All Johnny Silverhand Gear Locations in Cyberpunk 2077

How to Begin the Johnny Silverhand Gear Quest in Cyberpunk 2077

The quest for Johnny Silverhand’s gear is one of Cyberpunk 2077's ultimate completionist goals, letting you walk a mile in the legendary rockerboy's worn-out boots. But before you dive into hunting his iconic tank top, pistol, and Porsche, you need to know two critical things: when you can start, and the one-way door you must not walk through.

Several pieces of Johnny's gear are tied to specific Gigs across Night City.

Everything kicks off after you complete the main story mission Search and Destroy, a tense Arasaka raid. Following this, you’ll reach the pivotal moment where this guide matters: the mission Nocturne OP55N1. This is Cyberpunk 2077's point of no return. Starting Nocturne OP55N1 will lock you out of all open-world side jobs—including Johnny's—until you finish one of the game's endings.

⚠️ Crucial Warning: Once you begin Nocturne OP55N1, you are committing to an ending. The game will warn you explicitly. If you want to freely roam Night City and collect Johnny's gear, you must complete all related side jobs before stepping into Embers to meet Hanako.

Here's the silver lining: after you roll credits on an ending, the game returns you to your save point just before Nocturne OP55N1. This lets you mop up anything you missed, including the final pieces of Johnny Silverhand's legendary kit. Speaking of Johnny, he's your constant (and often contentious) companion—the engram of a dead rockstar, voiced by Keanu Reeves, whose digital ghost is haunting your mind. His style is as iconic as his cynicism, and collecting his personal effects is a fitting tribute to the man who was both a hero and a villain.

The items themselves, like the Replica of Johnny's Samurai Jacket and his Malorian Arms 3516, are more than just souvenirs. They're Iconic gear pieces, meaning they have unique models and can be upgraded through the Crafting menu. You'll find them initially at Rare quality, but investing in the Technical Ability skill tree lets you upgrade them all the way to Legendary, making them viable for the toughest endgame content.

So, to gear up like a legend: progress the main story through Search and Destroy, then stop before beginning Nocturne OP55N1. That's your window to hunt down every last piece of Johnny Silverhand's legacy scattered across Night City.

How to Find Johnny Silverhand's Tank Top and Aviators

Now for the fun part—Cyberpunk 2077 starts handing you pieces of Johnny’s iconic look simply by playing the main story. These first two items are practically gifts, but you've got to know when and where they arrive.

Most of Johnny's gear is obtained by completing missions related to his past.

Your inner torso and face slots get filled automatically during a pair of pivotal side jobs. Johnny's Tank Top, complete with his Samurai band logo and dog tags, is the first piece you’ll acquire. After the explosive events of Search and Destroy, you’ll trigger the Tapeworm side job, leading to a quiet, reflective moment with Johnny in a motel room in Pacifica. Just talk through the sequence—the choices don’t matter for the reward—and as you exit the Sunset Motel, the tank top will pop into your inventory. No searching required.

Next up are the Johnny's Aviators, his signature red-tinted shades. These are part of the Chippin' In questline that follows Tapeworm. You'll wake up the next day, and the quest begins. As you follow the story to its psychedelic conclusion during the A Cool Metal Fire section—where you press [F] to take a pill, letting Johnny take control—the Aviators will automatically be added to your inventory once V recovers. Like the tank top, they're an unmissable story reward if you just play through the mission.

⚠️ Watch out: If you somehow miss progressing Chippin' In, you won’t get the glasses. Just stick with the main objectives and you’ll be fine.

With the Tank Top and Aviators secured without any extra effort, you're already well on your way to looking the part of Night City’s most legendary rockerboy. Now you’re ready to start hunting down the pieces that require a bit more legwork.

How to Find the Samurai Jacket and Malorian Arms 3516 in Cyberpunk 2077

This is where your collection of Johnny Silverhand’s gear in Cyberpunk 2077 really starts to come together. You’ve already got his signature look started with the tank top and aviators—now it’s time to grab the most iconic pieces: his legendary jacket and devastating pistol.

The Samurai Jacket: A Gift from Rogue

Your next major stop is the Afterlife Club in Watson, the heart of Night City’s mercenary scene. Here, you’ll meet Rogue, the legendary fixer and Johnny’s old flame, who provides the 'Chippin' In' questline. After a tense conversation, she’ll lead you outside to her car. This is the moment—she’s got a gift for V. Open the trunk, and you’ll find the Replica of Johnny's Samurai Jacket. It’s a custom-made piece, as the original is long gone, and Rogue had this one crafted just for you. This iconic jacket is automatically added to your wardrobe, completing the rockerboy’s signature outer torso look.

Confronting Grayson for the Malorian Arms 3516

The 'Chippin' In' quest then leads you to the docks of Watson and onto the Ebunike ship. This is where things get serious. Your target is Jeremiah Grayson, a Maelstrom leader holding onto Johnny’s most prized possessions. You’ll need to fight your way through his crew to reach him.

Once you defeat Grayson in combat, the prize is right there for the taking. On the ground in front of him lies the Malorian Arms 3516, Johnny’s powerful signature pistol. Simply walk over and press [F] to loot it from the ground—it’s impossible to miss. This weapon isn’t just for show; it’s a powerhouse handgun that packs a serious punch and even has a unique flamethrower effect on its melee attacks.

⚠️ Watch out: Grayson also holds the key to Johnny’s car. If you want the Porsche and the “Breathtaking” achievement, you must choose to spare him here. We’ll cover that crucial choice in detail in the next section.

With the jacket on your back and the Malorian Arms 3516 in your hand, you’re not just wearing Johnny’s clothes—you’re wielding a piece of Night City history. You’re now ready to chase down his final, most elusive treasures.

How to Find Johnny Silverhand's Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo

This is it—the single most critical choice in your entire quest for Johnny’s gear in Cyberpunk 2077. Your actions in the next few moments determine whether you’ll be driving away in a legendary piece of rockerboy history or walking home empty-handed.

The moment arrives at the very end of the ‘Chippin’ In’ side job on the Ebunike ship in Watson. After you’ve dealt with the Malestrom gangsters and confronted Jeremiah Grayson, you’ll be presented with a dialogue choice. Here’s the trick most guides miss: to get the car, you must choose to spare him. Select the option ‘Got lucky today’. If you kill Grayson, you’ll permanently lock yourself out of the ‘Breathtaking’ achievement.

⚠️ Watch out: This choice is irreversible. Picking any option that leads to Grayson’s death means you cannot get the car on this playthrough. If your goal is the achievement, this is your only chance.

If you spare him, Grayson will thank you and hand over a shipping container keycard, telling you where to find Johnny’s old stuff. If you kill him, you can loot the keycard from his body, but this path does not lead to the car. Trust me, you want him alive for this.

With the keycard in your possession, head to the dockside crane control panel near the ship. Press [F] at the control panel to lower the massive shipping container it’s holding. Once it’s down, approach the container door—it will automatically open with the keycard.

Inside, gleaming under the industrial lights, is Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo. This isn’t just any car; it’s a classic with one of the fastest acceleration rates in Night City and a non-negotiable requirement for the full gear collection. Walk up to it and get in to add it permanently to your vehicle call list.

With the Porsche secured, you’ve claimed the centerpiece of Johnny’s legacy. Just a couple of gigs stand between you and looking every bit the legendary rockerboy.

How to Find Johnny Silverhand's Pants in the 'Psychofan' Gig

Alright—here’s where things get a little personal. After you’ve helped Johnny settle his scores and secured his car, you’ll get a call about a fan who’s taken his obsession a little too far. This gig is your one and only shot to grab Johnny’s iconic pants in Cyberpunk 2077, and missing them means they’re gone for good.

Triggering the ‘Psychofan’ Gig

First, you need the gig to appear on your map. Head to the Heywood district, specifically The Glen. Your fixer here is Sebastian “Padre” Ibarra. To get him to call, you’ll need to reach Street Cred Level 29. If the job marker (an undiscovered exclamation point) isn’t showing, clear a few NCPD scanner hustles or other activities in Heywood—Padre will ring you soon after.

The job is simple on paper: break into the apartment of a collector named Gaston Slayton on Lobos St. and retrieve a guitar that belonged to Johnny’s old bandmate, Kerry Eurodyne. But the real prize is tucked away upstairs.

Finding Johnny’s Pants in Slayton’s Apartment

Your target is the 17th floor of the apartment building. When you arrive, you have two main entry options:

• Force the front door if you have a high enough Body attribute.
• Climb to the rooftop, then jump down to a balcony and enter through the balcony door (often the easier route).

Once inside, ignore the objective marker urging you toward the guitar for a moment. This is the missable part. Instead of heading straight for the shrine, take the stairs to the right. You’ll enter a bedroom. Right beside the bed, you’ll find a pink suitcase. Loot it to claim Johnny’s Pants.

⚠️ Don’t miss it: The pants are only in this suitcase during the gig. If you complete the mission and leave the apartment, you cannot return. Grab them the moment you walk in.

A Quick Note on the Guitar

With the pants secured, you can finish the job. Head to the second floor where the guitar is displayed in a shrine room. The door here is locked by a keypad. The code you’ll need is 2065. Enter it, take Kerry’s guitar, and you’re done. You can exit and call Padre to turn in the gig for your eddies.

With Johnny’s pants added to your wardrobe, you’re one step closer to looking like the legend himself and unlocking that ‘Breathtaking’ achievement. Just one more piece of his gear to go.

How to Find Johnny Silverhand's Boots in the 'Family Heirloom' Gig

This is the last stretch—Johnny Silverhand's boots are your final piece of the iconic ensemble, found in a gig that’s easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. In Cyberpunk 2077, these simple black combat boots round out the legendary rockerboy’s look and get you one step closer to that "Breathtaking" achievement. The catch? They're tucked away in a location that can lock you out if you move on too quickly.

Explore the dangerous streets of Westbrook to find rare items.

Looting Johnny's Boots in Charter Hill

Your target is the Gig: Family Heirloom, located in Westbrook. Specifically, you’re heading to a parking garage on the southern portion of Charter Hill, near the Santo Domingo border. Before the mission pops up, you'll need to meet the Street Cred Level 35 requirement. While some sources suggest a slightly higher level (up to 38), boosting your Street Cred to around 35 is the confirmed safe threshold to trigger a call from Rogue, who gives you this gig. If the job marker isn’t showing, just tackle a few NCPD scanner hustles or side gigs in Westbrook to get your cred up.

Once the gig is active, head to the marked garage. Your official objective is to retrieve a bootleg Samurai recording, but your real prize is the boots. You’ll need to clear out any enemies in the parking area first. Then, proceed deeper into the garage to find the office space where your target item—the shard—is kept.

⚠️ Critical Warning: This area is flagged as potentially missable. The game may seal it off after you complete the gig’s primary objective and leave. Always loot the boots before you exit the mission area or turn in the shard.

Inside the office, head to the locker on the far back wall. Open it to find the quest shard you need—and right there with it, you’ll find Johnny’s Boots. Loot them immediately. They’re a Rare-quality iconic item, so you’ll see them in your inventory ready to equip or upgrade via Crafting later.

With the boots finally in your possession, you’ve secured the last piece of Johnny’s personal gear. All that’s left is to see what rewards await when the full set comes together.

Johnny Silverhand 'Breathtaking' Achievement Rewards in Cyberpunk 2077

You’ve collected the gun, the jacket, the car—every last piece of the rockerboy’s legendary kit. In Cyberpunk 2077, this final step isn't just about checking items off a list; it’s about becoming the legend. Once you secure that last piece, the Breathtaking achievement will unlock, a fitting tribute for assembling the complete Johnny Silverhand set.

This global achievement triggers automatically the moment you pick up the seventh and final item, which is almost always Johnny’s Boots from the ‘Family Heirloom’ gig in Charter Hill, Westbrook. The game tallies all seven iconic pieces: the Tank Top, Aviators, Samurai Jacket, Malorian Arms 3516, Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo, Pants, and Boots. If the achievement doesn’t pop, double-check your stash and inventory—sometimes items need to be physically in your possession, not just collected.

Now for the best part: rocking the look without sacrificing your stats. Head to your Apartment and use the Wardrobe system. Here, you can apply Johnny’s entire outfit as a visual override, letting you look like Night City’s most infamous rebel while wearing whatever armor actually keeps you alive in a fight. It’s the perfect way to strut through the city in style.

With the Breathtaking achievement secured and your wardrobe set, your journey to embody Johnny Silverhand is complete. You’re not just wearing his clothes—you’re carrying a piece of the myth. Now get out there and make some history of your own.
